Looks like the soon to be former mayor of Chicago is proposing some changes to aid in building the fund for the much highway and bridge improvements. A gas tax increase to the tune of as much as $0.30 cents is being proposed by the mayor.

The residents of Chicago and Cook County should be outraged by this proposal. This is a heck of a request for someone who has chosen to not seek re-election. Welp we guess the next mayor elect may have to bear the brunt of the feedback on this subject.

The Democrat and colleagues from the Metropolitan Mayors Caucus said Tuesday the 19-cents-per-gallon tax should be increased by as much as 30 cents . The caucus represents 275 municipal governments in Chicago and its suburbs.

The tax has been the same since 1991. Consumers also pay sales tax on gasoline.

Emanuel is not seeking re-election next spring. His advocacy provides a boost to Gov.-elect J.B. Pritzker. Pritzker has promised a multibillion-dollar construction program but no details on financing it.
